THE END MAY COME SUDDENLY (WASHINGTON DC PLANE COLLISION)
I was reading about the victims of the event where all 67 people aboard an American Eagle flight from Kansas and an Army helicopter were killed in a collision over the Potomac River near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday, January 29. Among those are children with great futures, wonderful families, one just engaged to be married, and one just promoted in their job. Before the unimaginable happened, a passenger called her partner and assured her that he would meet her in a few minutes.
You may be joking about it or taking it not seriously when you hear about the second coming of the Lord, or saying that Jesus can't come now. What happens if death comes? Where will you spend eternity? Heaven or a lake of fire? The Scripture says in Hebrew 9:27 'And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment’. I am not attempting to frighten you, but I want to inform you that what will happen to you in the next minute is unknown. If you do not have Christ as your Lord, this time may be the optimal time to accept Him, as He was sent to die for us. “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16 (NLT). According to John 3:18, there is no condemnation against anyone who believes in him. Anyone who does not have faith in him has already been condemned for their lack of faith in God's only Son. It is not in God's best interest for a sinner to die, but for them to turn from their sinful ways and lives (Ezekiel 18:23).
While we mourn with the families of those who have passed away, let's continue to ponder the question: Where would I be if the unimaginable occurred?
Thank you very much for the question about where would one be when the unimaginable happened? It makes me sober and vigilant.
